Kirt's Cogitations™ #31

RF Cafe University "Factoids," "Kirt's Cogitations," and "Tech Topics Smorgasbord" are all manifestations of my ranting on various subjects relevant (usually) to the overall RF Cafe theme. All may be accessed on these pages:

R.H.I.P. (Rank Has It's Price)

Who were the 100 highest paid high tech executives in 2001? Larry Ellison at Oracle tops the list at $706M - all of it in exercised stock options. His salary is $0. Michael Dell was #2 at $201M. Steve Jobs, of Apple, hit #12 with $84M. Steve Altman of Qualcomm came in at #30 made $26M. In the middle at #50 was Joseph Marengi at Dell with $14M. Richard Brown of EDS was the first to drop below the $10M point at #64. Poor 'ole Dennis Segers of Xilinx at #100 only made $5M. Dang, looks like I just missed the list again :-)

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
